The owner, a Wharton graduate discovered that darts were played at "off times" to traditional meal times and started dart tournaments. That place was packed all the time and he made lotsa money.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-10674482233809518312011-11-27T16:14:20.081-06:002011-11-27T16:14:20.081-06:00I think that Friday the 24th sounds good but I wil...I think that Friday the 24th sounds good but I will check with the others. If things continue as they have been, the dart players will be convening that afternoon at Hennessy's Irish Pub for fun, snacks and darts. We could start there and go on to dinner later. Darts has become a really fun group and everyone is invited.Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775514857047122526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-42121190412951190122011-11-27T15:47:58.301-06:002011-11-27T15:47:58.301-06:00Jonna - I know it is a LONG way off but I checked ...Jonna - I know it is a LONG way off but I checked the itinerary.

I've been on roads where I was moving rocks more than I was driving but the things one sees in a place like that are worth the effort. <br />On Royal roads: the old stage stops have been turned into homes for the most part but if you look hard you can still see their bones. I like looking for the old route, it is hidden down the hill or a ledge way up the hill, the traces are still there if you're watching.normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651902762232427335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-32845670226741503032011-11-27T11:22:06.520-06:002011-11-27T11:22:06.520-06:00That's intriguing Norm.

That was the trip of a lifetime....or several lifetimes. Something I don't need to repeat, however.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-45395159924903296022011-11-27T11:20:04.328-06:002011-11-27T11:20:04.328-06:00The Royal Road in Guatemala is worth the trip.
